My baby brother Liam is finally here!
 |
Isn't he so cute?! |
For the last few weeks (ever since
my baby cousin James was born), I kept asking my mommy every time we went to the doctor if she was going to help get baby Liam out now. Mommy just kept saying "Not yet, but soon." I was starting to think it was never going to happen, but then last Monday, it did! I went to bed on Sunday night at home with Mommy and Daddy, but when I woke up on Monday morning, they were gone and Papa was here. I was so excited to see Papa that I didn't even ask him where Mommy and Daddy were. I guess they had to go to the hospital while I was sleeping because Liam was ready to come out. Papa took me to school, and while I was there, Baby Liam was born! Nana picked me up and told me he was here, and we were going to the hospital to meet him. I was so excited! I got a special big sister sticker when we checked in, and then we went in to Mommy and Liam's room to meet him. I got to hold him all by myself, and he was heavier than I thought! He weighed 8 lbs 8 oz (which is half a pound more than me when I was born!), and was 20 inches long.

He was heavy, so I decided I'd rather have some help from Nana. |

Guess what? He pooped on her! |

All of the rest of Mommy's family came to the hospital to meet him, too. Mommy & Liam had to stay there for a couple of days, and Daddy stayed with them, so I stayed at Nana & Papa's house. I got to go back to visit every day, though, and now we're all back at home together!

Uncle Chris still needs some practice, but he's getting better! |
 |
I just love his little face! |
 |
I especially love when he smiles in his sleep |
 |
I love being a big sister! |
Now that we're all home, I've gotten more practice holding him and playing with him, and I can hold him all by myself now with Mommy & Daddy close by. I love to read him books and give him his binky. I can't wait until he and my cousin James get bigger, and I can teach them all kinds of fun stuff!
